14 JUN 2024 · We talked with a big wig (thanks to https://www.youtube.com/@AnimationFascination !) We sat sit down with the show's Supervising Director and Producer Barry J. Kelly to dive deep into the creative process of bringing this fan-favorite series to life. In this episode, you'll get insider insights into: ✨ Balancing the writing to cater to both die-hard Trekkies and newcomers. ✨ The age-old debate: Star Wars vs. Star Trek – which reigns supreme? ✨ What would the adorably menacing Moopsy look like in live-action? ✨ Barry's heartfelt gratitude to the incredible crew behind the series. ✨ The painstaking animation months-long production process! Star Trek: Lower Decks is set in the year 2380 and follows the support crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos, one of Starfleet's least important ships. The fourth season finds our beloved ensigns facing new challenges and opportunities, all while coming to terms with their "lower deck" status for the foreseeable future. Don't miss out on this engaging and insightful discussion that takes you behind the scenes of one of the most beloved animated series in the Star Trek universe! _________________ Follow Barry for more! https://www.instagram.com/barryjkelly/ Get early, extended episodes on our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/trekwarspod Watch us! https://www.youtube.com/@trekwarspod Theme by https://linktr.ee/tosinplays Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/trekwarspod https://bsky.app/profile/trekwarspod.bsky.social Want to ask us questions?

31 MAY 2024 · Pardon us. Aspen went on a nightswim, so they keep slapping the mic. We got bottle eps this week, dangit! Cheaper production is better (sometimes)! Dr. Miranda Jones and the Medusan ambassador join the Enterprise this week. And we marvel at how complex a character Dr. Jones is (and Diana Muldaur). Meanwhile, Aspen stans for the new inductees of the 501st. REX AND CODY! Also, we answer listener questions.

24 MAY 2024 · Thanks to Mike Moody-Garcia for letting Kenny guest on his pod! We’re back with another ESSENTIAL BABYLON 5 episode. Kenny Madison from the ⁠Trek Wars podcast⁠ joins Mike to discuss how Babylon 5: The Road Home is very, very good for the franchise. Despite the movie not blowing them away, they feel it can only help inspire more people to watch Babylon 5 and, fingers crossed, pave the way for either an animated or live action series reboot.

17 MAY 2024 · Does Dave Filoni have a brother? That's the topic of the week. Also, Star Trek and Star Wars are the topics, too. Aspen talks about "the Filoni Zone." Kenny, naturally, talks about Dave Filoni pulling a George Lucas and synthesizing his favorite aesthetics into something new. Aspen talks about the Trek Triumverate playing Idiotball in this week's episode. And Kenny pulls some thematics out of his butt. Also, criminal defense attorney Melvin Belli. When you listen to the episode, you'll get it. _________________ Get early, extended episodes on our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/trekwarspod Theme by https://linktr.ee/tosinplays Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/trekwarspod https://bsky.app/profile/trekwarspod.bsky.social Want to ask us questions?

10 MAY 2024 · Aspen is sick! And suffering from The Paradise Syndrome! Star Trek fails to show up this week as we act out of character and nitpick the flaws in Paradise Syndrome. Kenny talks about the Malevolence as an analog to the German Battleship Bismarck. And we dunk on Rise of Skywalker some more (sorry TROS lovers). Also, both franchises deal with commanding stuff. _________________ Get early, extended episodes on our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/trekwarspod Theme by https://linktr.ee/tosinplays Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/trekwarspod https://bsky.app/profile/trekwarspod.bsky.social Want to ask us questions?

3 MAY 2024 · Our friend Andrea DiMauro-Walton joins us to talk AHSOKA. And Star Trek, too, I guess. Aspen and Andrea talk about the Romulan Commander. Kenny talks about how Anakin just seems like a guy now (and why that's GOOD). Andrea talks about her experience with The Clone Wars and how kids aren't stupid.  And Aspen talks about Star Trek as Regency Drama. _________________ Get early, extended episodes on our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/trekwarspod Theme by https://linktr.ee/tosinplays Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/trekwarspod https://bsky.app/profile/trekwarspod.bsky.social Want to ask us questions?

26 APR 2024 · We start two new seasons at once! Kenny talks about the bold mission statement that is Ambush. Aspen talks about individualizing the clones.

22 APR 2024 · We've got two backdoor pilots! Both Gene and George get unprecious with what's come before. They break canon and create a new character that becomes the focus. One is the American Doctor Who. The other one is Aspen's favorite Star Wars character. YOU DECIDE WHICH IS WHICH! _________________ Get early, extended episodes on our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/trekwarspod Theme by https://linktr.ee/tosinplays Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/trekwarspod https://bsky.app/profile/trekwarspod.bsky.social Want to ask us questions?
